We can pay Frost the question is will you pay his assistants and do they want to come to Lincoln.  Knowing the expectations vs UCF and Orlando.

Was this the year they started the Power Towel and Willy chant!

Just curious what factors in the the average.  No Doubt he played a great game and well deserved.  It was just a thought especially when the percentage is labeled to the tenths.

I was at that game, there was a big rainbow over the stadium afterwards...  

I remember how it just didn't feel right to see Oklahoma struggle so much .  Yep.. here we are now .

I was too.  My Avatar is pic of my ticket.

So, everyone hates Nebraska, right? Well... not for a while. I think the majority of people agree that college football is better when Nebraska is relevant ( except for maybe Iowans, but screw those guys...)..

 

 

I remember feeling this way about OU when TO won #250 by a score of 69-7.  Now here we are SMH..

We can have a mobile QB....doesn't mean he should run on every play. I'm tired of having injured half-speed quarterbacks.

I agree.  It does put pressure on the D to cover more of the field if the QB can pull it down on occasion and pick up some chunk yardage.   Even if it's 3-5 plays a game with a slide or run out of bounds at the end of each.

GKF great post.  I've always felt the change from Clownahan to Bo was due to a lack of personality by the Clown.  Then Bo to MR was to bring in the nice guy from big bad mean Bo.  Lost in all that is if you don't make system based decisions you are constantly chasing your tail.  It was a long read, but well worth the time to read it.

After thinking through recent history, I think this team finishes a strong 4-1 or even 5-0. It's been the trend since Riley has been here. The team always looks completely different at the end of the year from the beginning. In '15 we stumbled through Purdue then finished really well. Last season we start off pretty well in the non con especially, then flailed to the finish line after the Wisconsin loss. Could we see another turnaround happen this season? I think it is entirely possible given our talent level compared to the rest of the schedule and considering we really have nowhere to go but up. I know we've looked so bad but it would be entirely Riley to finish really strong. In no way does that save his job, but I could definitely see it happening. Could give the next coach a little positive moJo going into next season. 

I agree with this thought, but those changes have happened when the sitting AD was in full support.  The change in AD shakes the team up too.  The players have to be wondering what's next.

Real Question..

Will we pass Texas before Bama Passes us?

Much better track record than the last guy.  He starts the 23rd how soon before his presence is felt?

This was interesting.  Gill is the Highest paid FCS coach  Pelini's  pay is below the average salary by $40,000.

Turner Gill received a base salary of $658,492 and a total compensation package of $750,116

Youngstown State’s Bo Pelini had a base salary of 213,894 in his first year this season. 

Nebraska and Tennessee fire their coaches by the end of the weekend!

Am I correct in remembering that Bo's annual payout is reduced by the amount of any salary he is currently earning?  If that is the case wouldn't Riley's buyout also be that way? 

Yes, but just like Bo they take less money at the new job on the front end in hopes of getting more later.  You also have to assume that some hires Riley or if he even wants to work again.  I don't think the cost of living is High in Corvalis.

Top of the BIG West...

Win all NON-CON's

Have the fans focus be on the players not the coaches!

I get it, but should he really come out and say this is a dumpster fire!  I'm done at the end of the year anyway who cares?  He's got to show some idea of working for the program to get his buyout at the end whenever that is...

I believe Scott Frost is showing signs of being a really good Head Coach.  His approach has been molded by several successful HC's on different levels.  I would just like him to come in and be Scott Frost not the next TO, BD etc...  I know the expectations will be huge, but he needs to do the job his way..

Voted 2-4 finish and it was difficult to go that high because  the  "winnable games" those team smell blood in the water.

He didn't use the Grad Transfer to go from Tulane to NU.  He was a "normal" transfer and sat out the 2016 season, as a result.  He should be able to be a grad transfer for 2018.

I didn't know that.  Then that would be a viable option.

Can he leave he's already used the Grad Transfer option?

Riley as an AD is a terrible idea.  I don't care how nice he is, he has had to replace over half of his coaching staff since coming to NU.  I don't have much faith in hiring coaches, and he would most likely hire a football coach that is similar to him, which I don't want.

 

I want an AD who has been an AD before, and he/she can hire his/her own coach.

I don't think previous experience as an AD is a must.  The last guy had experience you saw how well that worked out.

Look, I understand that he got cut by the Bills, but I don't think Brandon Reilly's gonna give up on his NFL aspirations right now just to come back and be AD. 

I see what you did there! HAHA..

I like the idea of Reilly as AD.  Smooth transition out for him.

Then look at these guys for HC

Frost

Aranda (LSU guys will be looking)

Canada

Neal Brown 

He even used the phrase "Unfinished Business"

Crazy that for this Depth Chart we would only lose 3 total starters next year on offense/defense.....DPE, Hoppes, and Weber

That looks good for next year, but also shows our lack of experience.

Honestly who will be the Power 5 short list for coaches this year.  I really think Frost will be on most of those lists not just Nebraska's .  Assuming they will be looking.
